Tony & Elaine's is a throwback red sauce Italian joint located in the North End at 111 N. Washington St. We use fresh, house-made pasta and won the award of North End's Best Meatball at the Fisherman's Feast.
“Amazing food and atmosphere! The old school Italian ambiance alongside amazing service by Francis made the experience truly amazing! I ordered the chicken and Broccoli pasta and the chicken parm (portions are huge and it tastes delicious). I also had cannoli which was a perfect sweet treat. I would highly recommend this place!!!”
“Where to start? Service with server, Mateo, was outstanding. Appetizer, calamari, was delicious. Ordered a bottle of wine, McManus Cabernet, was phenomenal. Spaghetti and meatballs were the best ever. Chicken Parmesan exactly what we wanted. Shrimp scampi was totally worth it. I love shrimp and it was absolutely great. Again, service was amazing. We hope to be back”
“The food was wonderful and the atmosphere was a mix of cozy and Italian diner. The mozzarella sticks were incredible, they were gooey and melty. The pasta was clearly homade and the chicken cutlets couldn't get crispier. The service was perfect we order and 5 minutes later the food came. Our server was very and polite was quick. They just took such good care of us🥰😚🫠🙂↕️”
“We ordered the bolognese sauce, oddly very dry due to little sauce but good in flavor. The cacio e pepe needed salt, but that could just be our taste. And spaghetti and meatballs, meatball was fantastic, sauce and spaghetti was pretty good. Bread and olive oil star of the show we lucked out and was seated quickly with no reservations, which is unlikely to be a repeatable. Don’t take cannoli’s to go, eat them at the restaurant, but even melted were great”
“This was a nice experience. My boyfriend and I went the day after valentines and the food was lovely. We ordered an appetizer, the mozzarella sticks, and they tasted like they were made from fresh mozzarella. They were super good! They also brought out a basket of bread which had a garlic herb crust which was absolutely scrumptious. Our entrees (the chicken parm and vodka rigatoni where I added a chicken cutlet) were fresh and delicious. The portion sizes here are actually normal, not like other spots in the north end who give you a huge plate of mediocre food. The reason I chose 4/5 stars is because for one, they don’t offer many non alcoholic drinks. My boyfriend and I are just under 21, and the only non alcoholic drinks options they had were 4-5 different soda options. Some house made juices or lemonades would be a nice addition to the menu. Secondly, there’s only 5-6 tables in this restaurant. You HAVE to make a reservation, I saw a few groups get turned away at the door. But for being such a small restaurant, you’d think the service wouldn’t be so slow. Although the food came out quickly, we had a lot of trouble getting ahold of our server for drink refills or getting the check. Overall, the restaurant FOOD was amazing, the interior is cute, but the SERVICE although not rude is mediocre. Would come again for the food!”
